Control arm drop/ long arm
Im trying to either make drop brackets or long arms. Which ever is easier and cost the cheapest.
Anybody got details or pics to show how they have made some?
Will making drop brackets make me lose any ground clearence being behind the axle anyways?

You also have to consider what you use your Jeep for. I ran RE drop brackets with 7-1/2" lift and 35"s with no issues whatsoever. Still flexed fine, no death wobble problems ever. I could see them getting in the way some if you're in an area where you do a lot of rock garden type wheeling. This was not a problem for me.
Here's 7.5" of lift, 35's, stock uppers and lowers.

thanks...Your Jeep is sick too. I love it.
I do a lot of hill climbing, rock crawling that tests the articulation bad. I have to make some rock sliders so that may take care of the ground clearence problem as well.

Is there a writeup you did for this? I would love to do it myself but I doubt my abilities in getting it done correctly. The correct measurements and all are what I doubt Id be able to get done right.
